A preponderance of you guys will be fully aware of the Troll Face, one of the first meme that became an internet phenomenon around 2010, and continues to retain its position worldwide. Believe me, and I think you do, the Troll Face has gone through a fair amount to become what it is today.
It started with a deviantART post.
(For those of you who aren’t familiar with that term, or simply forgot, it’s this really awesome online community that displays these amazing artworks. You can also get awesome fan art there =D)
It was a Microsoft Paint comic on the subject of the pointless nature of trolling uploaded by deviantART user Whynne and was uploaded on September 19th, 2008. He said he was attempting to portray a comic character recognized as “Rape Rodent” in his post.
The global sensation began with the following comic.
Yes, this was the beginning of troll. That ^ is where it all began.
Somewhere around July 2011, Carlos Ramirez (who claimed to be Whynne) Decided to be Badass And sent Reddit a copy write claim.
The best part was the picture made for the occasion.
The first Urban Dictionary definition for “trollface” was posted on August 1st, 2009.
A Facebook fan page named “Troll Face” reached 167,994 likes as of 31st March, 2012.
The Troll Face is a major milestone in mankind’s strive towards awesomeness.
We part again, readers, and hopefully for a short time.
